The flag maked when before deploying for World War II

The shrine's goshuin is a goshuin from Tokugawa Shrine.

Tokugawa Shrine primarily refers to Toshogu Shrine, which enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu as a god (Tosho Daigongen). Nikko Toshogu Shrine and Kunozan Toshogu Shrine are particularly famous, and there are many of them throughout the country. In addition to these, shrines and temples with historical ties to the Tokugawa family are also sometimes called "Tokugawa Shrines," such as Chion-in Temple (a temple but with related facilities), which Ieyasu worshiped as a shrine associated with the Tokugawa family; Mikatahara Shrine, which enshrines Hidetada; Iga Hachimangu Shrine, where Ieyasu prayed for victory; and Gokomiya Shrine.

This flag bears powerful and spirited phrases:

祈武運長久 (Inoru Buun Chōkyū)
　Meaning: A traditional phrase used to express hope that a soldier will be lucky and successful throughout their military service. It’s a respectful and supportive send-off for someone going to war.

Deployment Flag:
During World War II, it was a common practice for family and friends to write messages or names on flags when soldiers were being deployed. These deployment flags carried words of encouragement, prayers, and the love of family. Soldiers would carry these flags with them to the battlefield, treasuring them as a source of emotional support during their time at war.
